Digital Concert Experience
Your Musical Explorers semester culminates with a concert that can be enjoyed on demand as a digital experience at your school. Although the students will not physically be at Carnegie Hall, you should empower them as audience members to fully participate with the concert by singing along, dancing, and interacting with the artists and host.
To get ready for your Digital Concert Experience:
- Familiarize yourself with the concert ahead of time so that you can better facilitate throughout the performance.
- Prepare all the adults beforehand for what this experience will be. Share what the Musical Explorers program is about and the connection that your students have to the artists.
- Invite guests to join the digital experience. For example, you might invite students who will be doing the program in the following year to get them excited about the experience, or family members who have learned about the program from their children. Your Musical Explorers students can lead those attending in song and movement.
- Issue “tickets” to your excited concertgoers.
- Hold a digital experience in your auditorium or a larger space outside of the classroom.
- Act as a co-host for the concert. For example, at the beginning of each Musical Explorers concert, the host usually directs a question to the audience members. As the co-host at your school, we encourage you to engage your students in that and other questions that arise.
- Invite students to perform on your stage! For example, during each Musical Explorers concert, the host invites three students to join the prepared dance onstage. Model this at your event!
- Encourage participation from all attendees! By modeling participation—standing, singing, and moving to choreography—you and your colleagues can demonstrate engagement with each song during the concert.
